just my 2 cents, WRT a new STB (so not speaking about ricycling old HW!)
with no moving part and cheap:

the EPIA-M:

~ http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_m_spec.jsp?motherboardId=81

has:

- - fanless CPU
- - 1 PCI slot (for a budget card..)

her newer sister EPIA-TC has a CF slot and a 12V DC power onyl to make
